AMERICANLEAGUE By ANDY CLARKE Associated Press Sports Writer Things are looking up for the baseball champions as they move on apace in the American and National Leagues. Looking at the situation from I nearly every angle, the prospects are Drigntemng ror tne uetroit mgers and 'the Chicago Cubs as spring marches by and the blush of the new season fades away. The batsmen are poling the horsehide with increasing effectiveness, the fielders are showing more dash and precision, and most of all, the pitchers are settling down to the form they showed last year. Both the Tigers and the Cubs scored their second successive wins yesterday, the first time this season that either team has been able to put two together. They were decisive conquests with the Tigers manipulating the first triple play of the season and Tommy Bridges finishing his first game as the St.

Louis Browns went down to defeat 9-3. Lon Warneke, who failed to finish in two previous starts, pitched seven-hit ball as the Cubs mowed down the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1. In other games, the Cleveland Indians, leading the American League race, rode a pair of home runs and three costly Chicago errors to a 6-2 victory over the White Sox.

Every effort is being made to keep out low grade professionals whq sometimes attempt to get into ama- teur tourneys, and Gammick may; even go so far as to demand credentials in some cases. Boys from Sparks who wish to enter the tournament have beer asked to get in touch with FranH Marlar. Spider Moffatt of Yerington has Informed Gammick that he plana to bring at least four Lyon county, boys to the tournament who will make a creditable showing.

3t BAD LUCK HOLDS ANGELS' SAN FRANCISCO, April 25. (IP Bad luck clung to the Los An geles ball club as closely as the Angels hugged the Pacific Coast! League cellar, but Jack Lelivelt'a players finally won a game anyway. Young Bobby Mattick, shortstop and ace of the Angel batters, is iri a hospital. His skull was fractureq in batting practice before his teammates went out and won their firsfl game of the series from Sacramentq 6 to 4.

BATTLE ROYAL SET AT GROVE Another battle royal will be staged at Cocoanut Grove in connection with the wrestling matches Monday night and plenty of action is expected. The first man eliminated will not The next two to lose out will grapple a three fall, forty-five minutes- match and the two remaining will be matched in a two hour, three fall affair.

AH the boys in the battle are old favorites except Pablo Costello, veteran of many bouts and twenty battle royals. Others slated to work are Bob Castle, Rudy Meyers, Buck ONeil and Al Wescott. This should insure action from start to finish. ONeill and Wescott are old ene-miles and are expected to go after one another tooth and toenail from the opening bell. Meyers and Castle may pitch in and help one or the other of the two haters, or they may dispose of Costello.

In any event, plenty of things are due to happen, promoters believe, and the battle should draw a fair sized crowd. Phil Brubaker Wins Decision SAN FRANCISCO, April 25. (IP) Phil Brubaker, California's promising young heavyweight, is past another important milestone on the fistic highway today after his ten-round decision here last night over Abe Feldman, experienced New Yorker. Superior in height and weight, the 21-year-old fighter from Dinuba outpointed Feldman in seven rounds but he could not land a tell ing blow, Brubaker weighed 195, Feldman 180. The intramural baseball race at the university went into three-way tie between Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Sigma Kappa yesterday, and if the three leaders win their remaining games a playoff series will have to be ar ranged to decide the championship.

Until yesterday Sigma Alpha Epsilon was leading the league, with Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Sigma Kappa tied for second. Yesterday, however, Alpha Tau Omega handed Sigma Phi Sigma an 18-to-l pasting and Phi Sigma Kappa won from Beta Kappa on a forfeit. Both the S. A. E.

and Phi Slg teams have fairly tough hurdles in final games to be played this week. The S. A. E. nine will meet Lambda Chi Alpha Monday afternoon and Phi Sigma Kappa plays Sigma Phi Sigma.

Alpha Tau Omega has the lightest game of the three leaders, meeting Beta Kappa. Should, the three come out on top in all the games, they will split the tpoints for the intramural trophy and then play off the tie for the baseball cup. If all three teams lose their final games Lamba Chi Alpha will figure in the point division and playoffs.

(P) They threw open the gates at Churchill Downs today for the spring race meeting, to be climaxed May 2 by the colorful Kentucky Derby, and with Brevity, Coldstream, Bien Joli, He Did and other lively Derby candidates slated to face the barrier this afternoon, turf interest in Old Kentucky hit the ceiling.

Resplendent in glistening paint, a new $100,000 clubhouse unit and other improvements, the Churchill Downs plant was prepared to dispense southern hospitality in the grand manner. The historic Clark handicap, inaugurated in 1875, the same year as the derby, is the headliner of the opening day card. But it was overshadowed in interest by the sopho- more purse, seventh race on the I nroeram. which brines toeether a groun of the most hishlv regarded derby colts now quartered at the Downs. Brevity, Joseph E.

Widener's Hopeful and the derby favorite, will test his speed in this seven furlong affair, as will Coldstream, C. B. Shaffer's great speedster. Bien Joli, and possibly Banister, in whom Col. E.

R. Bradley pins his hopes of another derby conquest, will be tested in this event also. Others expected to start are He Did, Noble Sir, Sangreal, Silas, Watercure, Onwetsia, Jimmie Cabaniss and Zsar. Wise Duke, Boston Pal, Judge Kavanagh, and Prince Fellow are also eligible. A field of sixteen has been named for the Clark, at a mile and a sixteenth.

It promises a contest far more inviting than recent renewals, what with such crack handicappers as Ariel Cross, Whiskolo, St. Bernard, Corinto, Gilbert Elston and Compensatory slated to vie for the $5000 added purse. Other probable starters are Chaser, Brown Feathers, Likewise, Safe and Sound, Open Hearth, Riff, Wise Bessa, Wild Turkey and Erin Torch. Fourteen almost certain derby starters are now on the Downs course." They are Brevity, Indian Broom, Grand Slam, The Fighter, Banister, Bien Joli, He Did, Coldstream, Dnieper, Sangreal, Count Morse, Ttennob, Silas and Holl Image.

Adv.A21t5. CHURCHI DOWNS MEETING OPEN 1 OPEN FOR GARAGE Threlkel Nine to Engage Sacramento Celt Team On Local Diamond The baseball season will be officially in tomorrow afternoon at Threlkel park when the Reno Garage nine plays the Celtic Athletic Club team of Sacramento. The game will start at 2:45 o'clock. Manager Valdon is bringing a hustling aggregation in ten of the best semi-pro tossers in Sacramento. Two former Reno Garage players, Pitcher Leo Visintainer and Shortstop George Matranga need no introduction to local fans.

They form -the nucleus of the visiting crew and Visintainer has pitched some noteworthy ball while Matranga is recognized as a clever fielder and consistent hitter. Jack Threlkel has rebuilt his wrecking crew and has aimed at hitting strength. Baker, Hill, Frei-tag, Doyle and Inda are the remaining players while Pitcher Monzo, infielders Salinsen and Tony Gomez and outfielder Kirk Herrick have added more punch in the remodeling. Carl Monzo, who finished a great season with the Alaska Packers, is Jack's choice for regular mound work. He is short and stocky and possesses natural speed and is one of the few coast boys to be able to break a curve ball to advantage in this altitude.

He should prove to be an outstanding favorite with the fans before many games are played. Mike Salinsen, who was a battery mate with Jack Hill in the Joplin and Oakland training camps, arrived last night and will handle first base. Mike is a power house hitter and will be used in the clean-up position tomorrow. Tony Gomez, the new spark in the infield, is covering short and will lead off. The fleetfooted Mike Inda will be in center and hit second while Freitag is at the keystone corner and will hit in the third hole.

Herrick, a nephew of Dud Day, will hit fifth and play leftwith-the. peppery Jack Hill catching and hitting sixth. Third baseman Bob Baker will hit next followed by Carl Monzo. The Celtic Club will lineup as follows: Androvich second, George Santos right, De Gregorio, who is a star athlete in Sacramento high at third, Schreck first, Matranga short, Kienle left, Tony Dutra center, Gu- bel catcher, Visintainer and Stassi pitchers and Manager Bill Valdon. Dr.

H. J. Brown is scheduled to pitch the first ball while two other prominent Reno fans will pose as the initial batsman and catcher re spectively. POLO TOURNEY IS SET HERE Polo will be played on the Glen-dale field tomorrow with a round robin tournament scheduled. Baker's Riding Stable will meet the Glen-dale team and the winner of this match will tussle with the Roundup team.

Rivalry between the three outfits is intense and some good play is expected. The first match will start at two o'clock. Playing for the Baker team are: rred Baker, Charlies Rennie, Wayne Dillard and Hugh Rauhut. Glen-dale will use John Games, Donald Questa, Robert Games and Frank Penque. Riding for the Roundup will be Joe Geiser, Silvo Questa, Walt Stephenson and J.

Sherman. High score team of the three outfits will play the Hawthorne Marine officers. Games, captain of the Glendale team, hopes to defeat Wayne Dillard, captain of tie Baker team and both are gunning for Joe Geiser, Roundup captain. Budge to Meet Grant for Title WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va April 25.

(IP) Helen Fulton and Mrs. Virginia Rice Johnson took over the courts today to decide the women's Mason-Dixon tennis championship while Don Budge and Bryan (Bitsy) Grant saved their duel for a Sunday windup. Grant, Atlanta's Davis cup star, won his finals berth yesterday by upsetting Hal Surface, of Kansas City, the young ace who had removed Wilmer Allison, ranking No. 1 U. S.

player and Davis cup captain. Crews to Meet This Afternoon SAN FRANCISCO, April 25. (IP) Eight-oared crews of California and University of California at Los Angeles race on the smooth 2000-meter Lake Merced this afternoon. The California shell will be powered by the same oarsmen who lost to University of Washington last RENO 0M0RR0W Runnar Stone, San Francisco State's great athlete, got out of a sick bed to help his team mates in their track meet with the University of Nevada and the California Aggies this Stone looked a bit weak when the S.F. State squad arrived by train last night, but he didn't expect to be bothered materially by the illness and expected to take his usual quota of points.

Only a week now until the all-western high school meet will be held here, and the athletes will put in strenuous practice during the next few days to get themselves in shape for this test. Often more records are broken hi the all-western meet than in the state meet, for the simple reason that the weather is better generally on the first Saturday in May than it is on the second Saturday. Yerington is looked upon as an almost certain winner in the all-western meet, being favored to repeat. John Polish, the versatile trackster who scored 22 ,4 points for the Lions a week ago, will probably I score as many next Saturday. He proved to be the sensation of last year's all-western affair, and really was responsible for the win Yerington scored at that time.

The all-eastern meet will also be held next Saturday, with Winne-mucca the favored team. The Buck-aroos have already outclassed Elko in a dual meet. Reports of outstanding performers from other schools in the eastern zone are lack ing, and, as in the past, Winnemuc- ca and Elko athletes are expected to be the class of the lot. A large crowd will be on hand for the opening of the softball season on May 5, and the teams plan to put on a real show for the folks. Each team will take part in a series of three-inning exhibition games the night of May 5, and the league will swing into action the next evening.

Night sofeball is coining to Reno for the first time, and the sport is expected to captivate Reno audiences just as it has residents of other cities all over the country. Should night sofeball games prove feasible in Reno, it "is only natural that other forms of athletics may be indulged here in the evening, many fans believe. There has long been agitation for night football in Reno, but nothing has been done about it because it has been claimed that the nights are too chilly for com- ion here in tne iau. several towns; in Idaho have night football games, however, and the spectators, it is reported, have not experienced any discomfort because of cold weather. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Van Lingle Mungo, Dodgers Held Giants to eight hits and fanned nine to win, Lon Warneke, Cubs Shut out Pirates for eight innings and won, 6-1.

Hal Trosky and Earl Averill, Indians Their homers led team to win over White Sox. Charley Gehringer, Tigers Batted in three runs on two hits and started first triple play of season with great catch. Danny -MacFayden, Bees Out pitched Curt Davis to beat Phillies, 4-1. Lefty Gomez, Yankees Set down Senators with seven hits. Dusty Rhodes, Athletics Defeated his last years' team mates, Red Sox, by keeping eight hits well scattered.

chesItIrena plans mat card A doublt main event featuring four well-known grapplers will be presented on the wrestling card at Chestnut Arena Wednesday night, it was announced today. The boys are rough, fast and clever and should provide the fans with much excitement. The main events are for two hours and three falls. Tsutao Higami, the Japanese rub-berrnan who has a large local following, will meet Sammy Kohen, New York Jewish wrestler, in the first half of the double bill. Higami lost a bout to Lord Lansdowne last week after making a creditable showing.

Kohen gave Stacy Hall plenty of bother in his first appearance here. In the second half of the double bill, Cowboy Dude Chick will meet Frank Taylor. According to reports, Taylor is in for taste of airplane rising, as Chick, is irked because some, fans think he doesn't work his airplane spin hard enough. Taylor is a flying tackle and drop-kick artist. Frank Peck and Ted Christy will 1 I i.

I a the Yankees to a 10-2 win over the Senators. The Athletics beat the Red Sox 3-1 for their second sue cessive win over that team, driving Johnny Marcum to cover in his first start. The Brooklyn Dodgers continued their vendetta against the Giants, driving them back across the river with an 8-2 defeat. i Manager Mickey Cochrane was happy to see Bridges go the full distance, even though he was nicked for ten bingles and found himself in a couple of tight spots. Up until Thursday's game when Eldon Auker pitched a six-hitter against the Browns, Mickey was wondering whether Schoolboy Rowe, was the only starting pitcher he had.

With Auker and Bridges rounding into form and "General" Al Crowder promising better things, there is a little more sunshine along the road ahead. The Tigers' triple play was made when Jim Bottomley leaned on one for what looked like a sure hit with two on in the fourth inning. Charley Gehringer pulled it in, however, doubled Sammy West off second and then Julius Solters was nailed at first as he tried to get back. Detroit also executed three double plays. Warneke shut out the Pirates for eight innings, the Bucs getting their lone tally when Suhr went to second on Young's single and scored on Padden's double.

Hal Trosky, first baseman for the Indians, walloped his fourth homer of the season and Earl Averill connected for his first as Cleveland chalked up its sixth win in eight starts. Three White Sox errors figured in a three run scoring snree of the Indians in the seventh. Lefty Gomez, from whom a lot of pitching is expected by the Yanks this year, allowed only seven hits but issued free tickets to eight. The Senators' goose was cooked in the fifth inning when the Yanks went on a hitting spree to send five men across the plate. Danny MacFayden struck out seven as he topped Curt Davis in the Bees-Phils game while Dusty Rhodes, secured from the Red Sox in a winter deal, nearly shut out his old mates for the Athletics.

A homer by Dusty Cooke in the ninth robbed him of that distinction. The Cardinals and Reds had an open date.

VP) Dick Shikat was in the midst of new complexities today following his defeat in Detroit last night the grimacing Turk, Ali Baba, and the consequent loss of his claim to the world's heavyweight championship. What effect the defeat would have on the suit of Joe Alvarez of Boston, matchmaker for Promoter Paul I Bowser, against Shikat and Al Haft, nrnmntw vns r.nniw.iiral.

Some said it would end the action to declare valid the contract Alvarez says he holds over Shikat a.nd to get an accounting of Shikat's receipts under Haft's management. Some said it wouldn't. Haft and Alvarez each contend Shikat is their sole property, but Federal Judge Mell G. Underwood is the referee in this tangle and he is expected to rule next week. To mix it up further, Shikat, who was injured in the bout, asserted from his hospital bed in Detroit that Ali Baba had fouled him by throwing him from the ring onto the ringside chairs.

Testimony brought out interesting data on the "inside" workings of the mat game, but Shikat, on the defense, promises more startling disclosures when he gets a chance to give his version next week. Among the interesting charges aired during the Thursday and Friday sessions, were: That a group of six promoters, includine Jack Curley of New York, nuaaeipnia ana joe uooj Los 1 Sfnt Pr" That shikatf winning the heavyweight title March 2 from Dan O'Mahoney in Madison Square Garden, ignored an "order" to lose and "crossed" the Irishman; and That Alvarez, although claiming that he was Shikat's manager, never signed a contract for a match for the wrestler, never paid him any money, or secured any matches for him. The veteran Curley denied on the stand that Shikat had been ordered to lose to O'Mahoney, and said he had never known of a wrestling match being "fixed."
